Zedd takes home Best Dance VMA for ‘Stay’

Zedd was honoured Sunday evening (27th August) with the MTV Video Music Award (VMA) for ‘Stay’, his collaborative effort with R&B-songstress Alessia Cara.

The German-bred producer bested massive EDM earners Calvin Harris, Kygo, Major Lazer & Afrojack to take home the Moonman.

This weekend, Zedd’s drumming abilities were also thrust into the spotlight. In a new interview with Billboard, Zedd revealed that between the ages of 12 and 20 he was a drummer for his brother Arkadi’s metalcore band DIORAMIC. During the band’s former peak, the brothers took off school to tour through Germany.
